Love cable tv

I love cable tv. I am a homebody and one of the ways I pass the time is to watch tv. I also tune in to international news programs to keep myself updated with what’s happening around the world. I have my favorite shows that I make a point to watch. Call me shallow but cable tv shows sometimes make my day. Oh, let’s not forget that our family loves watching tv shows together. It is our way of bonding with each other.

CABLE TV can be subscribed through Time Warner, Charter Communications or Cox Cable. These cable providers offer a chance for you to up your level of viewing experience. Each of these providers offer the best in cable tv channels. It could be basic analog stations, high definition channels, premium movie channels. Or if you want, all three. There are various channels to choose from. Personally, as long as there’s a travel, cooking, and home and health channels, that’s fine with me. There are so many ways to keep you entertained when you are at home. But the easiest way is to just turn on the tv and watch. That’s what I do when I have nothing else to do and I just want to tune out everything around me. Or I just want a task that will keep me occupied for hours. Or if I am waiting for something or someone and I want to pass the time.

Rest in peace, Mrs. President.

The iconic face behind the Edsa Revolution, María Corazón “Cory” Cojuangco Aquino died early this morning, August 1, 2009 around 3:18AM at the Makati Medical Center.

Tita Cory, as she is fondly called, served as the 11th president of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992. She was the first female president of the Philippines and was Asia’s first female president. She had a year-long battle with colon cancer and finally succumbed to cardio-respiratory arrest this morning.

Rest in peace, Mrs. President.

How do you choose a National Artist?

There is an online poll at ABS-CBN News Online on who would you choose as a National Artist. It’s between Carlo J. Caparas and Rodolfo “Dolphy” Quizon. I voted. I chose Dolphy.

Let me tell you that I don’t know how they choose a National Artist. But if I were to be asked to choose, I’d choose Dolphy hands-down. Sure, Carlo Caparas is a brilliant comic strip creator/writer-turned director and producer. He is the one behind so many comics hits like Darna, Panday, Bakekang, to name a few. But Dolphy’s also a great comedian who’s been in the business making people of all ages laugh their hearts out for decades now. The man is already in his 80s. As far as I’m concerned, he deserves to be called a National Artist. He’s been an icon for the entertainment industry.

Personally, Dolphy’s been the one who bonded a lot of families when there were no internet and other gadgets to entertain them before. He’s done so many funny movies and I think I’ve watched almost all the old ones with my mom. Dolphy’s our personal clown starting noon, watching his old movies shown in tv. I believe, that alone, merits something, right?

I got this from Wikipedia…

A National Artist of the Philippines is a title given to a Filipino who has been given the highest recognition for having made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts, namely, Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film, Broadcast Arts, Fashion Design and Architecture, and Allied Arts.

Dolphy made a significant contribution to the entertainment industry. He was even compared to Charlie Chaplin and most recently to the UK’s Rowan Atkinson or more popularly known as the one portraying Mr. Bean.

I am not saying Carlo J. Caparas doesn’t deserve the honor. I am saying that between him and Dolphy, the latter deserves the honor more.

Promotions

Promotions is important. Without it, your target market will easily forget you. Remember that there are competitors always ready to grab your spot from you! Businesses should allot a budget for marketing campaigns targeted at their market. Even for a cardboard display or if you have the funds, a billboard will be really effective. Getting a celebrity to endorse your product or a classy tv commercial can also do the trick. That’s the reason why big brands are shelling out big bucks for major campaigns.

No more dinners

I stopped eating dinner a couple of days ago, about a week now, if I am not mistaken. It’s because I am sleeping earlier than usual to be able to wake up at midnight or around 1AM. My new schedule is like taking diet pills, it suppresses my appetite. I welcome this change in my body because everyone who have seen me knows I need it. I think that I’ve added so much weight since I started working at home. It’s time I shed off even some of it.

Tropical storm "Jolina"

Do we really have to name the tropical storm “Jolina”???

Jolina is the tenth tropical cyclone to enter the country this year and the fourth weather disturbance in July. PAGASA is warning residents of Panay Island, Negros, Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindoro, Zambales, Bataan, Pangasinan, Palawan, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Rizal and Quezon against possible flashfloods and landslides. Actually, Antipolo City, Rizal already reported a landslide yesterday. I do pray people will heed the warning and transfer to safer grounds even for the duration of this storm.

Anyway, it just baffles me why PAGASA is naming the storms this way. I think they want to be funny and relevant? But the celebrity with the same name is already a has-been, right?
